Measurement - Time

About This Worksheet

This worksheet provides a valuable opportunity for Year 2 students to consolidate their understanding of time, a fundamental concept in mathematics and everyday life. Mastering time-telling skills lays the groundwork for more complex mathematical concepts, such as calculating durations and understanding schedules. By working through these exercises, children develop their ability to interpret analogue clocks, a skill that promotes visual-spatial reasoning and attention to detail. The ability to accurately tell time empowers children to manage their own schedules, fostering independence and responsibility. Furthermore, understanding time helps children develop a sense of sequencing and duration, which are crucial for planning and organising activities. This worksheet also encourages critical thinking as students must analyse the position of the hands on the clock face and relate them to specific times. The exercises are designed to be engaging and accessible, promoting a positive attitude towards mathematics and building confidence in their ability to solve time-related problems. Ultimately, this worksheet aims to equip students with the essential skills and knowledge they need to navigate the world around them and become confident and capable learners.

💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to reinforce Year 2 students' understanding of telling time to five-minute intervals. Begin by reviewing the concepts of hours, minutes, and the positions of the hour and minute hands on an analogue clock. Model how to read the time to five minutes, emphasizing 'o'clock', 'quarter past', 'half past', and 'quarter to'. Encourage students to use a practice clock to physically move the hands and visualise the passage of time. For students who struggle, provide additional support by breaking down the clock face into smaller sections and focusing on counting in fives. For advanced learners, challenge them to solve time-related word problems or convert between analogue and digital time.
